Exactly what we wanted in a photographer

Mariel made us feel comfortable and took the most beautiful photos. She captured our personalities and not just posed ‘wedding pictures’ we would highly recommend Mariel to everyone!! 😊

We love our photos!

Mariel not only did an amazing job on both our engagement photos and wedding photos, but is also a super nice person and great to work. She made you feel at ease, which made taking the photos fun! She had some very unique photo ideas and techniques. If you want more than just the standard traditional posed photos, Mariel is it! She did a perfect mix of the more traditional type photos and the more relaxed, candid type photos. She captured so many wonderful pics of our big day that we had a hard time deciding which ones we wanted to have printed to frame for ourselves and our families! She was very flexible and willing to work with us and always responsive to my tons of questions. If ever I have a need for professional photos in the future, hands down I’d call Mariel again. And I would gladly recommend her to any couple to capture their wedding day!

Such a blast to work with!

Mariel was such an amazing photographer!!! We knew from our first meeting that she was the one!! My husband loved her and he’s the luckiest person when it comes to this stuff!! We had a package that included our engagement session which was a blast!! She has such amazing ideas and was more than glad to take any poses we wanted to try! She also had a few fun shots she asked to test out on us and they were awesome!!!! Our wedding photos went so smooth! Her and her partner were so organized and we got everything we wanted!!!

Mariel is a wonderful, talented and personable photographer. She took photos of a rustic wedding I had worked for my best friend and the photos came out so beautifully. She made sure that she captured every detail, even the smallest one and although her posed photos were beautiful, she captured many candid moments that blew us away and made the bride just glow. I highly recommend Mariel!
